Meet the Sennheiser AMBEO VR MIC
The new dimension of VR audio productions.
Wasn’t it time VR audio became an equal partner to VR video? Enter the AMBEO VR Mic: The new standard in 3D audio capture from Sennheiser lifting VR audio production to a new professional level. With the AMBEO VR Mic you are able to seamlessly record sound that immerses the listener bringing them a whole new and highly emotional experience.
Ambisonics: Technology For You To Shape The Future Of Audio.
The AMBEO VR Mic works with ambisonics, a multi-channel technique that lets you spherically capture the sound arriving from all directions, at a single point in space. For playback this representation is rendered binaurally, allowing you to virtually rotate the orientation of the perspective in all directions, horizontally and vertically. Ambisonics is also supported by all of the major post-production and playback tools on the market today. This makes ambisonics the appropriate tool for Virtual Reality and all other applications involving 3D sound and interactively controlled audio. A tool to create new worlds of sound with.

AMBEO A-B Format Converter Plugin
The capsules of the Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic deliver A-format, a raw 4-channel output that has to be converted into a new set of 4 channels, the Ambisonics B-format. This is done by the specifically designed Sennheiser AMBEO A-B format converter plugin, which is available as free download for VST, AU and AAX format for your preferred Digital Audio Workstation for both PC and Mac. B-format is a W, X, Y, Z representation of the sound field around the microphone. W being the sum of all 4 capsules, whereas X, Y and Z are three virtual bi-directional microphone patterns representing front/back, left/right and up/down. Thus, any direction from the microphone can be auditioned by the listener during playback of Ambisonics B.

AMBEO For LoudspeakersAMBEO 9.1 recordings give music the grandeur and natural, spatial sound of the original performance. They allow you to discover all the nuances and subtleties that stereo – or even 5.1 – can lose or obscure. Recording in AMBEO allows you to recreate the indescribable atmosphere of a live concert. That special mood and the soaring sound of a music festival. Or the power and delicate intimacy of a classical music concert. |
AMBEO For BinauralAMBEO for binaural is a fantastic way of creating easy-to-produce immersive audio content for headphone playback. AMBEO for binaural is recorded with a dummy head, an old technique re-imagined by the use of new processing technologies that enable completely new binaural mixing workflows and offer the ability to enhance the audio with spatially processed spot microphones. |
AMBEO For Virtual RealityThere is probably no other application with a more obvious need for three-dimensional spatial sound than Virtual Reality and 360° videos: In order to maximize the immersive experience the audio must also be spatial. No matter whether you are producing immersive content for VR goggles, your favorite web browser, YouTube 360, facebook 360 or for gaming, Sennheiser’s front-end VR Mic captures the full spherical sound at a single point in space. |
